Happy New Year! 🎉

Van-Far admin team and teacher leaders spent two days working with Jeff Thorpe from #capturingkidshearts. Our focus was improving our leadership by looking at behaviors that impact our work. Great training with an outstanding group of people! #onetribe #leadershipblueprint

Friday our #kindergarten friends went on their annual gingerbread man hunt to tour our school. They have so much excitement as they look for the gingerbread man. The plate of cookies at the end of the tour was a surprise. #gingerbreadman #gingerbreadhunt #principalhummel

Throughout the week classes have focused on creating social contracts. These are now the expectations for how they will treat others. It’s powerful seeing students facilitate their own learning. #socialcontract #capturingkidshearts #principalhummel

The lunch room is one of the best places to work on building relationships! #relationshipsmatter #principalhummel

This year we did the chalk the walk event. Had a great response with many positive vibes to start out first day of school. #chalkthewalk #principalhummel #vanfarelementary

First day of year 20 is in the books. I can’t believe how fast the years have gone. 10 years in the classroom and beginning my 10th year in administration. #firstdayofschool #principalhummel

Every student deserves a teacher who makes them feel like the luckiest student in the world! As summer begins to wind down, remember these three essential things to create a classroom where hearts thrive. #ProfessionalDevelopment #Education #iHeartCKH #capturingkidshearts

Every. Interaction. Matters. We don’t have to love that…we just have to acknowledge that it’s real. Have a great week, everyone!!! #LeadFromWhereYouAre

I love when I see notes in lunch boxes from parents! It’s such a special time for the child as they open up their lunch and find the notes. Their eyes fill with excitement. This particular note represents a students family who was harvesting barley today. #principalhummel

The best leaders are mentally strong. They recharge, they don’t dwell or linger on negative thoughts. They don’t blame, nor do they wish failure for others… #RoadToAwesome #satchat

Some adults in school are good at pouring gasoline on a tiny fire. Not saying kid isn’t at fault, rude, disrespectful, etc... Simply asking do you pour water or gasoline? The goal is to defuse every time. #thatonekid

Van-Far Elementary was the recipient of a $5,000 grant from the Griffin Family Foundation. The funds will be used to help make our playground more inclusive for all students. Thank you so much for the financial support! #vanfarelementary #principalhummel #onetribe #community
